I'm a native New Yorker. I would NEVERbet against Ne York.
What's taking place in NYC and other large cities is merely a symptom of a much wider problem facing our nation. That is; we've turned our backs to God, allowed the murder of innocents, and encouraged other nations to do the same in the name of sustainable development. We corrupted the minds of our children in our public schools and set one group of citizens against another. America has strayed far from the path our founders put us on. If we don't change our ways, VERY SOON, all living in this land are doomed to live through Revelation 18:4 - I'm afraid, since president Trump can't save us, we have to save ourselves. And that starts at the individual level. Our form of government of the people, by the people, for the people,
"was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams
